About Voodoo

"Voodoo" is a song by Danish singer-songwriter Oh Land from her second studio album Oh Land (2011). It was released digitally as the album's third single on 1 April 2011 by Fake Diamond Records and A:larm Music, exclusively in the United Kingdom. Nanna Øland Fabricius wrote the track in collaboration with its producer Dan Carey. A synth-pop song, it features spoken verses and a repetitive refrain where she sings "it's voodoo you do". The single received a mixed reception from music critics who highlighted her genre combinations but downplayed the lyrics. A music video was not created for the single, but the singer performed it live on several occasions, like at the Heaven nightclub in London in February 2012. The performance was compared to ones by both Rihanna and Robyn.

You change your silhouette
You cast another shadow
You're speaking like scissors cutting out a foreign pattern
All the things you do affecting my behavior
No doctor's got me diagnosed
No science proof to save me

It's voodoo you do
There's needles everywhere
It's voodoo you do
There is fire in the air

All the noise will disappear
It's voodoo you do
There's needles everywhere
It's voodoo you do
I go higher in the air

I'm possessed when you are near
I love the color red
It is for love, it is for death

It is my ritual
I see it as my duty
Seduction is an eye
You can see through all the beauty
I know you wonder why
I'm so afraid of learning
If I convince you
There is no returning

It's voodoo you do
There's needles everywhere
It's voodoo you do
There is fire in the air

All the noise will disappear
It's voodoo you do
There's needles everywhere
It's voodoo you do
I go higher in the air

I'm possessed when you are near
Ooh, electrons disturbing the activity in my brain
Just a few more dials connected
And the smiles are coming back again and again and again
Ooh, electrons connecting and tuning
I love the color red
It is for love, it is for

Voodoo
There's needles everywhere
It's voodoo you do
There is fire in the air

All the noise will disappear
It's voodoo you do
There's needles everywhere
It's voodoo you do
I go higher in the air

I'm possessed when you get near
There's needles everywhere
There's needles everywhere
There's needles everywhere
There's needles everywhere

There's needles everywhere
There's needles everywhere
There's needles everywhere
There's needles everywhere
